I got another 6-8 hp from a $300 catback muffler (and have the dyno tests to back it up) but only above 5000 rpm.

Any hp increase from intake mods (like air box) are debatable unless you go to a larger throttle body.
For sure, if you're going to do the 987 air box swap, you need to do a full intake upgrade to take advantage of the larger air box.

I was pissed off, I own the entire car outright and feel I should be given full access to do whatever the hell I want with it. I now order my parts from the net.
PS apparently they feel key programming is enuf of a PIA and little enough profit that they WILL release these codes. Go figure.
I called my Porsche dealer parts section and it sends me straight to a voice mail. I called them about getting a new key fob programmed for my car. I think I have left 5 messages and never received a call back. There is only one Porsche dealer near me and it's 30 min away. I'm just going to drive there one day and see what's going on with them not answering the phone, never calling me back and see if I can get my key fob programed while I'm there.
